Chapter 203, Khost City
As the merchant minister of the Augustian Empire, Gabriel Langton was only famous for his outstanding earning ability and the opportunity to become a tool for the nobles, as for gunpowder, guns and steelmaking, these were secondary additional points.
But this name is extraordinary in the Federation!
Because Gabrielle Langton was the first to truly promote equality, he funded the establishment of the Academy of Fundamentals, so that the children of commoners could learn knowledge that was once only available to the aristocracy.
It also establishes professional colleges in all walks of life, so that those who cannot eat can have a skill, so that they can get everything with their own hands.
The Transcendent Academy has also been established to allow civilians to control their power and truly help ordinary people no longer be oppressed!
Identifying himself, Camp Commander William immediately became much more polite to Langton.
Then send a signal corps to contact the superiors.
compared to thirty-three years ago.
Today's Federation has entered a new era, in addition to the means of magic, the basic knowledge has been accumulated, and the development of technology has also started, with the creativity left by Lanton, and the science and technology projects funded by Darth Vader, the telegraph has been developed and widely used in the army!
entered the barracks to receive high-level entertainment, but it was a disguised house arrest to determine her identity, and Caterina also followed.
There was still no expression on his face as always.
said lightly: "You are really too easy to be negligent." ”
Indeed, Langton regretted it a little when he revealed his identity, and he had lost his memory for thirty-three years, waking up without a familiar person by his side, which has said a lot.
Because of the inquiry of an army battalion commander, he said his name to the effect.
He would definitely ask his superiors and eventually let Sauron, Hela, Ares, Gellert, Tywin, and others know.
"I know it's wrong?"
Katerina: "So you haven't grown into the best chess player yet. ”
"Huh?"
Langton thought about it, and felt that Battalion Commander William was now asking his superiors, and he had revealed his message of returning to the main world and regaining his sobriety,
When the villains come, it is inevitable that they will fall into passivity.
Case.
Simply turn reactive into proactive.
With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a crooked, irregular circular portal spell.
At the other end is the meeting room of Stuart Harbour Castle.
"It's reckless. Katerina shook her head: "By doing this, you are throwing away your advantages. ”
The portal opened, and the people on the other end of the room had already looked over, and Profion, who was sitting in Stuart Harbor, had also seen Lanton here, and Caterina had spoken too late to stop Lanton from being stupid.
A more stable portal opened, and Profion walked over: "Gabbri, why are you here?"
"It's been a long time since I've seen Profion. Langton said, "You may not believe it. ”
"I don't know why I'm here. ”
"Can you tell me?"
"Also, help me explain my identity to the battalion commander here. ”
"Willing to serve you. ”
Although Profeon's face was full of doubts, he responded to his command and immediately took action, and when he gave an order to the other end of the portal that was still maintained, he summoned a short scepter-like staff that represented his identity.
As a high-ranking member of the Federation, he can prove his identity, and he can also be a Langton identity.
"Gabry, I don't know why you're here, the last time I saw you was thirty years ago.
You said you were going to find the source of the mysterious tide.
I don't know where I ...... to go."
"Searching for the source of the mysterious tide?" Countless thoughts flashed through Langton's mind, he had many guesses, but he didn't expect his adventure decision to be this.
"I'm going by myself?"
Profion: "No, and Thanos. ”
Thanos?
Langton thought for a moment and asked, "During the thirty years since I was missing, what happened in the Overworld, the Underworld, the Abyss, and the Otherworld?"
Profeon: "There are not many major events that have happened in the past thirty years, after you leave, the second wave of mystery will come, the world will be upgraded, the abyss will complete the derivation of hell, the underworld will completely invade the main world, and complete the fusion, and the will of the underworld will begin to compete with the creator god for the main world."
In addition to these four biggest things, the outer gods follow in your footsteps in search of the source of the mysterious tide.
The gods resolved the influence of the old rulers on all beings and finally fell into a deep sleep.
The same is true of those who have escaped the old domination.
Then we established the Federation here on the continent of August. ”
"That's it?" These big events did change the pattern of the world, but not much of them involved him, and Langton frowned, unable to learn what he wanted to know most, and his face was a little disappointed.
How the hell did I lose my thirty-three years of memory?
"Thanos, it's Thanos, where is he?"
"There was no news. Profeon shook his head.
"Those outer gods ......" mentioned them, and Langton immediately thought that the villains could not resist the terrible spiritual pollution and psychic influence: "Forget it, you can't touch them. ”
"There's probably no news either, right?"
Profion nodded.
"Where are Sauron, Hela, Ares, Seth, Anubis, Dormammu, Calypso?"
"Where's Lucifer?"
Profeon: "Under the crown of Hela, under the crown of Ares, under the crown of Seth, under the crown of Anubis, under the crown of Dormammu, and under the crown of Calypso are all in the otherworld, or in their own kingdom of God, and His majesty Crown of Sauron has gone to the Dwarven Continent.
And under Lucifer's crown, he has been playing all over the place. ”
After pondering for a moment, Langton couldn't help but ask more: "Except for Thanos, really no one knows about my situation?"
Profion: "Sorry Gabry, we really don't know. ”
"Really?" Langton was skeptical.
The villains are their biggest help, without their help, would the golden finger of "The Book of Summons" only be used to become stronger?
How did the Augustian Empire fall?
It was the villains who helped to plan and calculate, and they took action step by step, changing the situation of the empire little by little, and finally leading this giant to the edge of the abyss!
You can't do those things alone.
Not to mention what it is like today.
- Really changing the world!
Would I give up the advantage of being outnumbered and go it alone?
This is clearly unreasonable......
Profeon is controlled by the soul, there is no way to deceive himself, although there is a problem with the Divine Sense, it is not completely useless, it is just more difficult to use, the effect is not good, and it can read the mind with a little time.
It's just that Profeon really doesn't seem to know anything.
"Forget it, you can help me explain my identity to the battalion commander here, and then go and do it yourself. Langton said, "I want to be out there for a while." ”
"Relax and regain your memories by the way. ”
Hearing the order, Profeon immediately took the short staff to find the commander of the barracks, Camp Commander William, and a big man came forward to testify, Langton immediately became a guest of honor in the barracks, and Profion also went back to the conference room in Stuart Port through the portal to continue to be busy with various affairs.
......
......
Filled with doubts and having his identity confirmed, instead of returning to the Northland with Profion, Langton left the barracks and the station as originally planned and headed for the nearest city.
Cities are different from small towns, because of the industrial development, the level of prosperity can be compared to the port of Stuart before Lanton left the main world, although the port of Stuart did not have a large population at that time, but the central part was also devastated by the war, and it was not easy to restore prosperity so quickly.
After a day and a night of rushing into the city, people who got up early in the morning to work hurried through the streets.
This rush was nothing to Lanton.
Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to find a hotel to stay and rest.
He simply wandered around the city to see what the city looked like today.
The city is called Khost.
In the former Augustan Empire, it was only a small county of the main city, after being occupied by the Federation, because of its location in the plain, the railway and cement roads were built, and the transportation developed created an unprecedented prosperity.
Moreover, the outside of the city was rich land, and even though the barbarian cavalry often invaded the southwest, it was only natural that large farms were built in the east and north.
Through the research of magicians, wizards, and witches, the Federation has the world's most productive rice, wheat, corn, and human crops.
It can be ripened in January!
The trade of agricultural products alone allowed Khost City to reap millions of tax revenues a year, and together with the wine-making industry, it followed the pace of the Federation and embarked on the road of rapid development.
Although it is a small city, the affluent life of the residents here has led to the popularization of various types of schools.
And a small magic school was built specifically!
Horst was mayor every five years, and the last three were mages, so the magical atmosphere here is on par with several famous key magic schools in the central part of the country.
Of course, as a nova city, Khorst's School of Magic and Wizardry is nothing more than an elementary school.
i.e. the Elementary School of Magic.
After walking around, Langton also saw almost the same in Khost City, and from the analysis of what he saw and heard, he could judge that the Federation that has now entered a new era has developed to the level before the First World War in the West in the previous life.
If this momentum continues, the advent of airplanes is not far off.
Langton was relieved by this.
"So what do you want to do next?"
Caterina asked.
"Find a hotel or hostel to stay in and have a good meal. Langton said. After so many days of travel, he hadn't eaten any food since he left Karen Town, and he wanted to try the special delicacies here.
After all, as the strength becomes stronger and stronger, Changsheng has already done it.
If you don't have a hobby, even if you have a long life, it will be very boring.
Enjoying food has become Lanton's hobby.
In his previous life, as a big foodie, he ate himself into a big fat man of one hundred and eighty pounds, even if he changed to a different world.
You can never change your love of eating!
Staying at one of Khost's best hotels, throwing gold coins at the city's best chefs, and Ranton is full of anticipation waiting to enjoy the local cuisine.
Looking at the night outside the window and listening to the musicians in the hotel restaurant, Caterina, who had always remained indifferent, had a trace of disgust and impatience on her face, obviously the atmosphere was very good, but she was very disgusted.
After so many days with her, it was the first time that Langton had seen that she was not expressionless.
"You don't like the musician's playing?"
"Still don't like what I ordered?"
Langton asked.
Caterina restrained her disgust and returned to indifference: "I don't like it." ”
"Didn't like it all. ”
"Will you take me away?"
"Yes. Langton smiled and nodded: "Of course I will when I finish eating." ”
Caterina suddenly regained her silence, and then stinked, as if trying to influence Lanton's appetite.
But Langton completely ignored her, and ate quite happily.
But......
After a while, a police sergeant in a police uniform hurriedly ran in and went straight to Langton, who was enjoying a meal.
"Your Excellency Gabriel Langton?"
"It's me. Langton nodded in response as he nibbled on the turkey leg.
"I am Gabriel, the sheriff of the 5th district of Khost City, and my parents named me after Your Excellency, and it is my honor to meet Your Excellency, but I have come to disturb Your Excellency because something is going on in the city. ”
Sheriff Gabriel said, "The mayor asked me to ask your Excellency to come and help. ”
"Something is going on in town and you need my help?"
Because Profeon proved his identity, and after returning to the port of Stuart, he also telegraphed to the Confederation that Langton had entered Khost City, and the mayor and other city officials also knew about it.
Otherwise, a foreigner wandering around the city must be suspected of being a spy.
Seeing that Langton couldn't enjoy the food, Caterina curled the corners of her mouth and urged rarely, "Let's go." ”
Hearing this, Langton was depressed and nibbled on the turkey legs, didn't bother to pay attention to Katarina, and cast a water spell to wash his hands, so he reluctantly got up and followed the sheriff with the same name as him out of the hotel restaurant and went to the city administration building across the street.
As the most central thriving area of Khost City, even at night, the street where the hotel is located is lined with pedestrians, and many shops are open on both sides.
But Langton followed the sheriff out into the street, and the pedestrian had already been taken away by a police officer.
"Can you tell me what's going on?"
Sheriff: "I'm sorry, sir, I don't know how to answer, but the mayor says it's a matter of magic." ”
"Is that so......"
Soon, the three of them walked into the city administration building, but after taking a few steps, Langton sensed a magical wave appeared in the sky above Khost City, which seemed to envelop the entire city, and then the conference room on the top floor of the building exploded!
"Boom~!!"
As soon as the ground shook, the sheriff immediately took out the revolver on his waist and rushed upstairs.
Someone disturbed you for a meal.
Is it a barbarian transcendent attack?
Or is there something wrong with the mayor as a magician?
Following the sheriff up to the top floor of the building, Langton immediately saw the mage in a black cloak with the aura of death stomping the middle-aged man in formal clothes under his feet, draining his life force and turning people into dried corpses.
"Uncle!"
Seeing this, the sheriff immediately raised his hand and opened fire.
"Bang Bang Bang~"
Bullets are fired at a rapid pace.
Instantly broke the protection of the black cloak mage, and before he even had a chance to fight back, he was blown off the head and turned into a headless corpse and fell.
However.
Black Cloak is not alone, he also has four companions!
"Be careful!"
Although it is relatively rare for Langton to encounter sudden encounters with enemies, he is also experienced in a hundred battles, and immediately reacted to protect the sheriff, forming a shield with magic power to block the attacks of the four black-cloaked mages.
But.
Something surprising happened.
The sheriff suddenly turned around and shot at Langton, who was playing his defense.
"Bang Bang Bang~"
The bullet blessed with extraordinary power is fiercely loaded with shields, unable to penetrate but sending out a series of ripples.
Because of the abnormal strength in Langton's body, the ripples caused by these few shots actually made his spell protection a little out of order!
And the sheriff's body, who turned to shoot, suddenly swelled.
- Turn into a suicide bomber!
"Boom~!!"
